Terme di Traiano

The Terme di Traiano, known as the Baths of Trajan in English, were a massive imperial bath complex built in Rome from 104 to 109 during the reign of the Roman emperor Trajan. The baths were built by Apollodorus of Damascus, and they fell out of use by 537, when the Goths besieged the city. The Goths destroyed most of the city's aqueducts, and the baths were abandoned due to the loss of their water supply.
